The Department of Languages and Literature is proud to announce the course offerings for the Summer 2013 semester. As you will see, the summer sessions (full term, mini term A and B) have just as many interesting course offerings as the fall and spring semesters; not to mention, many of the classes are offered online! So if you need to catch up on some class requirements, want to get ahead in your degree program, or simply want to take a fun elective, please consider a summer session course…or two!

During the spring 2012 semester, the students of Mrs. Becky Leblanc’s English 102 course visited Grand Isle, LA. The course, which was focused on “the bayou country,” allowed students to compose rhetorical arguments about the culture and current issues of South Louisiana’s “Bayou Region.” The students studied Mike Tidwell’s book Bayou Farewell, a non-fiction account of Tidwell’s experiences traveling through the disappearing “Cajun Coast.”
